The numbered attributes mean that there is allowance for multiples. The via attributes range from via1_1 to via3_9 where the first number corresponds to the appropriate connection number and the second number is the position in that connections 'via' list. For each connection (via_1, via_2, or via_3), there can be up to 9 connectors, via#_1 through via#_9.
